Cardiac Rhythm Device Summit: Implantation, Management, and Follow Up

Memo

Hundreds of thousands of patients receive cardiac rhythm devices each year for brady or tachyarrhythmis and heart failure. In addition, the number of people who may benefit from an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and/or cardiac resynchronization device (CRT) has substantially increased in the past decade. Evolving device technology has increased programming complexity, follow-up, and management. Cardiac implantable device management related to electrophysiology remains a major part of daily practice for cardiologists, electrophysiologists, and non-physician caregivers involved in the management of these devices. LEARNING OBJECTIVES -Describe the current indications for pacemaker, ICD, subcutaneous ICD, and resynchronization therapies-Recognize upcoming technologies such as leadless and epicardial devices-Interpret diagnostic material (electrocardiograms, impedance, radiography, and other sources) to troubleshoot suspected implantable device malfunction-Discuss CIED related common issues such as management of device patients having MRI, radiation, infection and extract implantable devices-Identify the current capabilities and roles of remote monitoring to manage patients with cardiovascular risk and disease INTENDED AUDIENCEThe symposium is designed for cardiologists, internists, family practitioners, physician’s assistants and cardiovascular nurse practitioners and technologists caring for patients with cardiac rhythm management.   Date and Time: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 07:30 - Sat, 27 Jun 2026 12:00 Venue details: Fairmont Empress, 721 Government Street, Victoria, British Columbia, V8W 1W5, Canada Price:Registration: CAD 995.00 Speakers: Yong Mei Cha, Fred Kusumoto, Paul Friedman, Siva Mulpuru, Win Shen, Paul Friedman
